Imagine my surprise when I opened up my Google map today to see three big red circles that say Bangkok bombing right directly on the map. Tourist regularly depend on Google maps to get around town. imagine their thoughts when they open their Google map and see scattered red circles that say Bangkok explosions on it.

Change word

Now the big question is obviously:

Should people avoid the red areas or should they avoid the not (yet) red areas?

Is it more likely that another "bomb" will explode next to one which exploded already? Or somewhere else?

 

Personally I obviously don't like violence and I hope they find and arrest the bad guys soon. But will I avoid going out or only to certain areas? Sure not! I am sure statistically it's still a lot more dangerous to cross a street, any street, in Bangkok.

Bombings. Have I been oblivious to this or have bombings been scarce in bkk the last 3 years?

sorry, i should have said explosions.

yes I am seeing the same thing. TAT is going to hate this.

by the way, why do you have a gold star "my places" at my girlfriend's house?

"Hello, I am the head of TAT. I want to speak to this Mister Google person. Get him on the phone. I'll wait"

They will look at the map and feel, despite what they see, all is safe because the Minister of Tourism said so!   555

The folks in the southern most provinces could be thinking to themselves.."what's the big problem there?"

No problem, just follow the advice of the police!
